ZeraTM assembles protein bodies in plant cells to accumulate recombinant products, thereby facilitating their extraction. <\/p>\n<p>  Fran\u00e7ois Arcand believes that, &#8220;with ZeraTM drug manufacturing will be easier and less costly. The discoveries of the team directed by the CSIC researcher Dolors Ludevid are of particular interest because of their simplicity and quality&#8221;. The ZeraTM, created by these researchers and developed in ERA, will be presented in the Conference on Plant-made Pharmaceuticals in Montreal, to be held from 30 January to 2 February 2005. <\/p>\n<p>  Fran\u00e7ois Arcand completed his MBA in the Executive Programme of the John Molson School of Business (Concordia University, Montr\u00e9al).
